Hypnotizing Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hey everyone, my name is Alan and am glad to be part of this forum. I was diagnosed with androgenic hairloss in my early 20's, i went trough a finasteride + minoxidil treatment for years having fantastic results until 2 years ago when i took a break. I begin to notice my hair thinning again, so i resumed my finasteride course (5mg) (i break the pill into 4 pieces and take ona piece each day), but now after 2 months of use i noticed some issues with my chest. Primarily itchy nipples and tenderness along with pain in some areas somewhere near the nipples, so i see them as chest pains. It's also not consistent, one day one nipple can be itchy, the next day could be both, no itchinness at all, or pain in either one. So should i stop using finasteride? I've read this could be a rare side effect, and after years of using it it's the first time i experience something like this. But if this is dangerous as i'm concerned there's suppousedly a chance of developing breast cancer, i'm willing to stop using it forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCap Posted November 17, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2019 This might be coincidental. Go to the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted November 23, 2019 Moderators Share Posted November 23, 2019 Are you also taking minoxidil again? Many people take it with no problems, but it can cause heart issues in some cases. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
